Simplify n + -2 to n - 2

(n - 2)(n + 4) = 27

Expand

n^2 + 4n - 2n - 8 = 27

Simplify n^2 + 4n - 2n - 8 to n^2 + 2n - 8

n^2 + 2n - 8 = 27

Move all terms to one side

n^2 + 2n - 8 - 27 = 0

Simplify n^2 + 2n - 8 - 27 to n^2 + 2n - 35

n^2 + 2n - 35 = 0

Factor n^2 + 2n - 35

(n - 5)(n + 7) = 0

Solve for n

<u>n = 5, -7</u>

Answer:

9 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

27/3=9

There are 2 different ways to solve this equation.

Side note: subtracting a negative (4- -3) turns the equation into addition (4+3) and adding a negative (4+ -3) turns the equation into subtraction (4-3)

So the original equation: (n + -2)x(n - -4)=27

Turns into this: (n-2)x(n+4)=27

Way 1: (11-2)x(-1+4)=27

9x3=27

Way 2: (5-2)x(5+4)=27

3x9=27

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Good idea to review quadratic functions and the quadratic formula.

Quadratics have three coefficients:  ax² + bx + c, and the "discriminant" is defined as b²-4ac.  Please review these rules:

1) if the discriminant is +, the quadratic equation has two real, unequal roots.

2) if the disc. is 0, the equation has two real, equal root.

3) If the disc. is - , the equation has two complex roots.

Here a = 1, b  = -3 and c = 4.  Therefore the discriminant is (-3)²-4(1)(4), or

-7.  Rule 3) applies:  the equation has two complex roots, but no real ones.  Thus we know that the graph does not cross the x-axis.

Graphing the given quadratic, x² - 3x + 4, using a dashed "line," is helpful.  As you can see in the illustration of this graph, the graph neither touches nor crosses the x-axis.  Thus, y = x² - 3x + 4 is greater than 0 for all x.  The answer:  All real numbers.
